EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896). Major Tommaso Salsa and Captain Annibale Anghera, representing the Italian army, stand before Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia. The engraving, taken from "Illustrazione Popolare - Giornale per le Famiglie" in 1896, showcases the negotiations for peace following Italy's defeat in Adoua. In this powerful image, Major Salsa and Captain Anghera meet with King Menelik II and his chiefs to discuss terms of peace. The encounter symbolizes an important turning point in international relations and colonialism. Despite their military defeat, the Italians approach this meeting with respect and dignity. The presence of an umbrella held over King Menelik II adds a touch of cultural significance to the scene. This detail highlights both the differences between European powers and African kingdoms at that time as well as their shared desire for peaceful resolution. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful engraving beautifully portrays this historical event. Through his artistry, he captures not only the individuals involved but also conveys a sense of victory amidst defeat. This print serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding war and negotiation while shedding light on Africa's rich history. It stands as a testament to diplomacy prevailing over conflict and offers us valuable insights into our past.
